Good Day All,
I was a big Rocketeer in my youth. Now as a father, I have introduced my daughter into Model Rocketry. We enjoy this activity together. We have used mostly RTF or ARTF Rockets. I decided to delve into more difficult builds with her and found that we enjoyed that as well. The first Rocket we built was a small Saturn V which was fun to build but I am guessing we used the wrong type of spray paint, (Testors Flat White) and the decals failed to adhere to the Rocket. I ordered and have started the Estes Saturn V but want to make sure I use the correct paints for this one. Any advice on which paints to use to avoid my previous mistakes? Also advice on painting parts before they are added to the Rocket, or build and then paint? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
